This is all set in your theme’s page templates.

You can copy one of these and rename it bbpress.php and put it into the root of your theme.

bbpress will then use that one, and you can delete the sidebar from the bbpress.php

come back if you need further help

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

nothing bad in doing that

as bbpress has different custom post types for topic and reply, you could also link to the action bbp_theme_after_reply_content action and put a topic condition on
something like

function display_after_topic() {
	if( get_post_type() == 'topic') {
	$text="hello mother" ;
	echo $text;
	}
	else {
	return ;
	}
}

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_content', 'display_after_topic') ;

I suspect this is not related, but always worth checking

Do you have a forums page with shortcode.

If not another poster did the following with success for a twentyfourteen theme.

So let me restate what you found to work:

1. When creating a menu item for forums, do NOT use the automatically available permalink that ends in “/forums/”
2. Instead, create a page that has the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] in the body. There could also then be other content or links in the body.
3. Make sure the page you created does NOT have a permalink that ends in “/forums/”. In my case I had a page Title of “Forums”, but I changed the permalink to end with “/allforums/”.

I suspect that this will not fix for you, but give it a try anyway !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Terry, thanks from posting that – sometimes (in fact more than sometimes!) it is a small but vital bit that’s missing !

Glad you’re now fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I am writing a bbpress specific solution at the moment – hope to publish in the new few weeks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, add this in

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000000;
}

and then come back with any others

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

yes, it was an untested change, but now I know you can do it, I’ll change it later today to catch the other ones

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok, you have several routes to go

If you think you will be making other changes, then it may be worth you reading this

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

but if you just want to get this going then download this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

and then put this code into it

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
color: blue !important ;
}

a:link {
color: blue !important ;
}

Obviously you can change the blue to whatever, or use hex codes to get any shade you like

Come back if that doesn’t work, and I’ll try to help further

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

some of the code in here might help you

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

ok if it proves an issue, you could use

if ( is_singular( array('forum', 'topic', 'reply') ) ) {
    //  conditional content/code
}

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

great, glad you’re fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

yes they are on your site.

If I gave you the code and said for you to add this to your style.css would you know what I was asking?

If so I’ll cut some for you to use

If not, come back and I’ll try and help further

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

another one that you can spend hours trying to solve !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

you can edit the profile page to prevent them changing it

In your theme create a bbpress folder

wp-content/themes/%yourtheme%/bbpress

where %yourtheme% is the name of your theme

then navigate to

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-edit.php

and copy this file to the bbpress folder you created above

bbpress will now use this one instead of the default.

edit this new file and take out lines 33 to 45

ie take out the following

<div>
			<label for="nickname"><?php _e( 'Nickname', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="nickname" id="nickname" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'nickname', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>
		<div>
			<label for="display_name"><?php _e( 'Display Name', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<?php bbp_edit_user_display_name(); ?>
		</div>
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_user_edit_after_name' ); ?>

This will remove the ability to set a nickname and to change the display name.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

yes !

When they go into

Dashboard>appearance>menus

they will see a ‘screen options’ button dropdown on the top right, if they click that they will get a list of things they can see on this screen, and they need to check the ‘forums’ one.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I suspect that you can still see it as either you’re a keymaster, moderator or wp-admin.

Private forums are only visible to logged in users
Hidden forums are only viewable by keymasters, moderators or admins

so you want to reset your forum to hidden, and you will still see them, but users won’t unless you give them privileges.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

is_bbpress()

should do it I think.

Otherwise bbpress has custom post types of forum, topic and reply.

You should also consider disabling or modifying the bbpress search function, as otherwise searches will go forum wide, giving a backdoor.

Good luck !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

glad we got there !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Hey, thanks it looks really good !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

If you want it to look like PhPBB then the following links should help

I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel

Forums index in the same layout as other bb software

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

This is just different software, like the difference between a Ford and a Toyota.

bbPress is ‘skinny’ and you can use plugins to add functionality as you need, rather than have fat software that has loads of stuff you don’t need.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

You should really be looking to get rid of the toolbar for everyone but moderators and above ! It shouldn’t really be seen by users.

go to dashboard>users and for each user untick the toolbar

The codex has help on putting logins and profile on the menu pages – see

https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ no.s 8 & 11/12

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

I’ve submitted a trac ticket to improve the code !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks for the great feedback – much appreciated !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 6 months ago]

glad to have someone else looking !

My ajax is hopeless !

Your solution is valid, but digging for it produced some code issue

we have several issues here

firstly the filter call is wrong in the code ie

bbpress/includes/topics/template.php has two errors

function bbp_get_topic_subscription_link( $args = array() ) {
......Parse the arguments......
		), 'get_forum_subscribe_link' );

so the function is ‘get_topic_subscription’ but the parse argument reverts to ‘get_forum_subscribe‘

whilst it doesn’t affect this issue the error is repeated for favorites in the same file

function bbp_get_topic_favorite_link( $args = array() ) {
..........), 'get_forum_favorite_link' );

needs changing to ‘get_topic_favorite_link’`

This doesn’t affect the issue as such, other than the filters above are wrong.

But filtering bbp_get_topic_subscription_link is totally pointless, as it immediately calls
‘get_user_subscribe_link’ which them resets the |, so whilst the filter seems to correct it once, any click just resets it.

So your filter to get_user_subscribe_link is the correct one, but for the wrong reason.

Really the code needs to have the filter in one place only (suspect user)

Anyway the solution for @majid436 is as you suggest

function hide_before3 ($args = array() ) {
$args['before'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter ('bbp_before_get_user_subscribe_link_parse_args','hide_before3');
